Prayer this past Friday night was truly special. There seemed to be a singular focus on interceding about those things that were on the heart of God. Though I didn’t take notes, I’ll try to include some of the things we felt impressed to pray about, though not in the order we received them.
As we were praying in the midst of the Louisiana Legislature’s Special Session
on ethics reform we prayed for divine guidance for the legislators. We believed that raising ethical standards would be an indication that God would be raising moral standards in Louisiana culture as a parallel.
Likewise we prayed for Governor Jindal as he guides the state under godly influence. We noted that it was prophesied the eyes of the nation would be upon Louisiana to take the lead. Just that week the Governor was suggested as a possible nominee for Vice President of the US and the nation’s “next Ronald Reagan.” We thanked God that the news served as a token of greater things he had in store for Louisiana.
We prayed for those LSU students working toward a week of 24/7 prayer on the campus. Their efforts were absolutely pivotal in the move of God to be released in this region of Louisiana. We thanked God that by faith he was raising up more believers with heart to seek God and laying the groundwork for 24/7 prayer meetings all around the area. It was prophesied that God was in the process of lighting little “fires” across Louisiana (prayer meetings) and would later send a wind to cause those little fires to sweep the state. We prayed God would continue to bless and encourage all in Louisiana who were committing to deeper prayer. We asked the Lord to make the leaders of this new move toward 24/7 prayer to be courageous in the face of naysayers—men and women committed to what God set their hands to.
One of our members works at Parkview and considers the school her special project. We agreed with her that God would transform the school from whatever the community thinks it is (whether academic or athletic) but would instead be known as a school where the Spirit of God prevails over it all.
Another member brought a print-out of a prophetic word she received by email. The word was for Miami, Florida and Louisiana concerning unusually strong spring storms with resulting floodwaters. We prayed for God’s protection on our state.
While this doesn’t cover everything, it hopefully gives you a taste of some of what was prayed about.
